The Atlanta Falcons have stretched out their cap just enough to add a handful of useful free agents, though some folks would enjoy more leeway.
The most popular option in opening more money up for free agent pursuits comes with a release of benched right tackle Ryan Schraeder.
Schraeder, the team’s UDFA steal-turned-Pro Football Focus-darling, has held down the team’s right side for the better part of five seasons, earning a major extension in the 2016 season for his excellent play. Players like Schraeder, a Valdosta State alum, just don’t come around often, and you’re mighty glad when they do.
